Mylan, Perrigo row ahead of shareholders vote

The slanging match between Netherlands-incorporated Mylan (Nasdaq: MYL) and US drugmaker Perrigo (NYSE: PRGO) has intensified ahead of the Mylan’s shareholder vote on the hostile takeover bid.

On Tuesday, Mylan reported the Irish regulators have found Perrigo making statements that could mislead shareholders and the market or may create uncertainty. Mylan said the statements violated Irish takeover rules.

Mylan executive chairman Robert Coury, said: “Perrigo continues to make misleading comments with regard to Mylan’s offer to acquire Perrigo — comments which unfortunately have been inaccurately repeated by other third parties.”
